To overcome the limitations of traditional long-term planning in adapting to dynamic operational demands, this paper proposes a bilevel planning model incorporating an adaptive short-term correction mechanism. In the upper level, probability distributions of source–load growth rates are modeled to determine long-term expansion schemes for substations, feeders, and distributed generations. In the lower level, a short-term correction mechanism is introduced to address source–load fluctuations and support flexible DER operation, enabling stage-by-stage rolling deployment of energy storage (ES). Distinct from fixed phase boundaries, an adaptive phase partitioning strategy is developed to dynamically identify the optimal expansion timing, avoiding premature investment and excessive operational burdens. Furthermore, reliability constraints are incorporated into DMEP, with ES siting optimized through key node assessment and network expansion designed using a graph-theoretic approach, enhancing both nodal supply security and regional power balance. Case studies demonstrate that the proposed method effectively addresses source–load uncertainties and operational risks of vulnerable nodes and branches, reducing the total planning cost by 7.64 %. Validation on a 54-node system further confirms its scalability and practical value.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":56019,"journal":{"name":"Sustainable Energy Technologies and Assessments","volume":"83 ","pages":"Article 104628"},"PeriodicalIF":7.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145268884","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Decarbonizing the energy sector by expanding renewable energy sources and reducing reliance on traditional fossil fuels is widely recognized as a cost-effective approach to mitigating climate change. This study estimates technical change, output elasticities, and substitution elasticities for both non-energy factors (labour and capital) and energy-specific inputs (petroleum, natural gas, coal, nuclear energy, and hydroelectricity) in France, using annual time series data covering the period 1980–2021. Employing ridge regression to a translog production model, the findings reveal that renewable energy sources and fossil fuels act as substitutes, with nuclear energy and hydroelectricity exhibit the highest substitution potential. The output elasticity estimates suggest that all non-energy and energy-specific inputs, except coal, positively contribute to production. Furthermore, technical change estimates provide strong evidence of convergence among all pairs of non-energy and energy-specific inputs. Although nuclear energy constitutes a substantial share (65 %) of France’s energy mix, the study recommends increasing the share of renewables from 15 % to 20–30 % as a viable strategy to accelerate decarbonization. Additionally, it highlights the importance of government policies that promote workforce development and facilitate a fair transition from fossil fuels to clean energy. Further decarbonization strategies, including feed-in tariffs, tax incentives, carbon pricing mechanisms, and emissions trading schemes (ETS), should be implemented to promote the adoption of renewable energy while reducing reliance on fossil fuels.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":56019,"journal":{"name":"Sustainable Energy Technologies and Assessments","volume":"83 ","pages":"Article 104627"},"PeriodicalIF":7.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145268889","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The traditional solar modules are installed only on rooftops, limiting their energy production due to lesser rooftop area in urban areas, thereby under-utilizing the surface area obtained from the entire building. Incorporating these modules into building architecture can result in higher energy generation, however posing a major aesthetic bottleneck since these panels are only blue or black in color.
